If humans see their condition, that they are living in a society that is making some people more powerful than others and not caring for all people, they may be able to transform and live a life that the revolutionary Jesus would desire of the human person.
I agree with Harmony here. No matter what kind of society we live in (Capitialist, socialist, fascist) as Christians we are called to help the poor and marginalized. I believe that no matter what kind of economic system is in place there will always be marginalized people groups. However, capitalism has created more aid thats been sent to the poor people of the world than any other economic system. Its easy to demonize capitalism for its inherent greed, materialism and consumerism. But would we rather have a totalitarian state ruled by the iron hand of a socialist or fascist government? At least republic capitalism impowers the private sector. Socialism, while utopian in its ideals, puts to much power in the government as the fixed ruling class.

I'm curious as to the actual stats on something like this. I do know that statistically speaking America has the worst healthcare system of any 'developed' nation in the world. I'd see this as one area in which we do/don't take care of our own poor.
